264: Chapter 264 Bounty

"Mn." Li Qingling nodded.

During this period, they would also stroll around a few cities to figure out the local rules and customs first, so that if the Family could develop here in the future, they would at least have a direction.

"Let's hurry over. The Yanhuo Sect has issued a bounty." On the street, several Cultivators were talking in pairs.

Seeing this, the two of them also headed in the direction the others were running.

The two walked all the way to the East Square of Yanhuo City.

The East Square covered an area of one li in radius, and looking up, heads were bobbing everywhere.

On the stage, several Cultivators wearing red garments with flame symbols printed on the front and back appeared.

They were Cultivators of the Yanhuo Sect.

"Everyone, our Yanhuo Sect has decided that this time, any Cultivator who participates in hunting Flame Beasts can exchange the corpses of the Flame Beasts for rewards."

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator standing at the very front swept his gaze across everyone present and said with a faint smile,

"What are the rewards this time?" Among the thousands of Cultivators in the square, someone asked.

Hearing this, the rest of the people also raised their own questions one after another.

Seeing this, that Foundation Establishment Cultivator raised his hand to stop the people below and explained, "Calm down, I will answer your questions one by one."

"First of all, regarding the rewards everyone cares about the most, our Yanhuo Sect will match the quantity of Flame Beasts with the rewards on the bounty list.

On the bounty list, whether it is Magical Artifacts, Legacies, or Medicinal Pills, everything is available. As long as you hunt enough Flame Beasts, even ziyu pills can be exchanged."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Cultivators present became excited.

"Can ziyu pills really be exchanged?" A Foundation Establishment Cultivator asked.

His cultivation was already at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, very close to the ninth layer Perfection. What he lacked the most right now were Purple Mansion spiritual objects, but unfortunately, these major powers tightly controlled these resources in their hands, leaving them with almost no way to obtain them.

Either work for these Sects, or go to an auction house to bid for them.

"Mn, as long as your contribution is sufficient. I will present this list now, and everyone can strive for it based on your strength." That Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the stage nodded.

Then, he took out an illustrated scroll from his Storage Pouch, casually pinched several incantations, and the scroll instantly enlarged, then floated in mid-air.

Everyone looked over, and they were all attracted by the rewards on the list.

"There really are ziyu pills. The Yanhuo Sect really didn't lie." A Cultivator sighed with emotion.

"They didn't lie, but..." His companion had originally been very excited too, but upon seeing the exchange conditions, he was instantly drenched with a basin of cold water and didn't know what to say.

Chen Changqing and the other person also looked over, simultaneously shocked that the Yanhuo Sect was actually willing to take out ziyu pills as a bounty, and astonished by how harsh the exchange requirements for ziyu pills were.

On the list, wanting to exchange for a ziyu pill required slaying two Tier 3 Low Grade Flame Beasts, or killing one Tier 3 Medium Grade Flame Beast.

Almost all Foundation Establishment Cultivators instantly fell silent upon seeing this condition. They were merely Foundation Establishment Cultivators; how could they talk about killing Tier 3 Yao Beasts? Even with preparation, ten Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators cooperating with a set of Tier 3 Formations might not necessarily be able to slay a Tier 3 Low Grade Yao Beast, let alone the fact that these Tier 3 Flame Beasts were all followed by a large number of their own kind.

However, although ziyu pills were very difficult to exchange for, Purple Mansion spiritual objects were not completely out of reach.

To want a Purple Mansion spiritual object that could increase the chance of opening a Purple Mansion by ten percent, one only needed the demonic cores of fifteen High Grade Tier 2 Flame Beasts to exchange for it.

If one wanted a Purple Mansion spiritual object with a fifteen percent chance, it would require twenty High Grade Tier 2 demonic cores.

These Purple Mansion spiritual objects that only required Tier 2 demonic cores were the targets of these Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

As for ziyu pills, to put it bluntly, they were given to Purple Palace Cultivators. After all, Purple Palace Cultivators all had descendants to varying degrees.

In addition to this, there were also rewards such as Magical Artifacts, Formations, Legacies, Cultivation Techniques, and so on.

Every single reward had a corresponding exchange contribution value.

Among them, the exchange conditions for the foundation establishment pill were also presented above. A single foundation establishment pill only required three High Grade Tier 2 demonic cores to exchange, or eight Medium Grade Tier 2 demonic cores.

Although there were many rewards on the list, there were very few that could catch Chen Changqing's eye.

Among them, he had taken a fancy to advancing Medicinal Pills like ziyu pills and foundation establishment pills.

As well as Legacies, Cultivation Techniques, Tier 3 Magical Artifacts, and so on.

These were his primary targets to strive for.

Li Qingling glanced at him, and the two tacitly nodded.

However, before heading to the Fire Domain to hunt Flame Beasts, Chen Changqing needed to refine a Tier 3 Magical Artifact for Li Qingling first.

Li Qingling's previous baizhou sword also needed to be upgraded. The baizhou sword was only Low Grade Tier 3; if it wasn't upgraded to Medium Grade Tier 3, it wouldn't be of much help to Li Qingling.

...

One month later, Chen Changqing successfully refined a Medium Grade Tier 3 Magical Artifact. Looking at the shrunk white shield on his palm, he thought to himself: "Since it was refined using white jade stone, I shall call you the bailing shield."

Over this past month, he had not only refined a bailing shield, but by the way, also upgraded Li Qingling's baizhou sword to Medium Grade Tier 3.

As for how to upgrade it, the method was very simple. When he had achieved a Breakthrough in Foundation Establishment back then, the dao bead gained a new function, which was to improve the quality of items.

It was just that this kind of upgrade wasted Spirit Stones quite a bit. Ordinarily, a Medium Grade Tier 3 Magical Artifact could sell for over two hundred thousand Spirit Stones on the market.

Yet upgrading the baizhou sword from Low Grade Tier 3 to Medium Grade Tier 3 cost him nearly three hundred thousand.

Fortunately, he still had around seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones in his hands previously; even after consuming three hundred thousand, he still had around four hundred thousand left.

Chen Changqing put away the two Magical Artifacts, then came out of seclusion and handed them to Li Qingling.

Looking at the two Magical Artifacts, Li Qingling was overjoyed. With these two Magical Artifacts, her combat power could truly be unleashed.

"That's right, Brother, quite a few Monster Hunting Teams have already gone out to hunt Flame Beasts, and many treasures on the bounty list have already been exchanged. When are we setting off?" Suddenly recalling her experiences over this past month, Li Qingling reminded him.

"You adapt to the Magical Artifacts first. We will set off in a few days. Anyway, those Purple Mansion spiritual objects aren't so easily exchanged anyway." Chen Changqing gave a hum of acknowledgment and then proposed.

Hearing this, Li Qingling immediately went down to find a place to practice with them. These two Magical Artifacts featured one offense and one defense, and each possessed its own Divine Ability.

For instance, the baizhou sword could execute two Moves.

One of the Moves released a white light beam for attack, while the other transformed into a phantom to assist the attack of the true sword.

As for the bailing shield, it could prop up a shield wall that could completely shroud everything within a radius of a hundred zhang. Ordinary Middle Stage Purple Palace Cultivators could not shatter it in a short period of time.

The defensive power of this bailing shield was equivalent to dozens of Medium Grade Tier 3 defensive Talismans, and it wasn't even a disposable item.

Li Qingling grew more and more satisfied with these two Magical Artifacts. Once she was already familiar with them, she and Chen Changqing also began to join the ranks of monster hunting.
